The cable car service closed and reopened after officials carried out extensive checks.

It was revealed the accident was caused by strong gusts, prompting a technical fault that led to the door opening just moments after the gondola left the substation.

The yellow cable car had the Chinese text ‘Welcome to Yandang Mountain Cableway’ printed on the window.
